Good morning Zlatko,

The flow is like this: a site manager or collaborator named 'x', uploads a file/folder.
Untill approved by manager or collaborator 'y', consumers in that site should not be able to see this file/folder; "no privileges".
After approval by 'y' the privileges on that file/folder will be "consumer privileges".

I figured I could set that in rules manager, but there is nothing on privileges there.

Is there some way or workaround to achieve this?

Thanks,

Pieter
